1.2. Safety instructions and warnings for battery use (continuation)
If a cell leaks, the fluid must not come into contact with the skin or enter
the eyes or mouth.
Measures in case of inhalation
Vapors or mists escaping from a damaged cell can cause respiratory irritation.
When inhaling the contents of an open cell, remove the source of contamina-
tion or remove the affected person to fresh air. Seek medical help.
Measures in case of eye contact
Contact with the contents of an opened cell can cause severe burns or eye irri-
tation. If eye contact occurs with the contents of an opened cell, immediately
rinse the contaminated eye(s) with a lukewarm, slightly flowing stream of water
for at least 30 minutes. Keep eyelids open. Neutral saline may be used as soon
as available. If necessary, further rinse the eyes during transport to the emer-
gency supply station. Take care that contaminated water is not flushed to the
naked eye or face. Immediately transfer the affected person to an emergency
care center.
Measures in case of skin contact
Contact with the contents of an opened cell can cause burns. If skin contact
occurs with the contents of an open cell, remove contaminated clothing, shoes
and leather parts. Rinse immediately with lukewarm, low-flow water for at
least 30 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation symptoms or pain persist.
Thoroughly wash or dispose of clothing, shoes and leather goods before reuse.
